Action 2803
 
[Withdrawn 11/4/2008]
General Information
Action Summary The current regulation section, in very general terms, describes the basic refund process a dealer shall follow in obtaining a refund for taxes erroneously or illegally collected and remitted to TAX. The current regulation also provides that the refund of taxes to a dealer shall be reduced by the dealer's discount, provided the dealer took advantage of the dealers discount upon remitting the tax. It is TAX's longstanding policy that TAX may refund directly to the consumer erroneously or illegally collected taxes by a dealer when it is not feasible for the consumer to obtain the refund from the dealer. This includes situations where the dealer may have declared bankruptcy or gone out of business and is unable to provide a refund to the consumer. This regulation section has been amended to set forth TAX's longstanding policy with respect to consumer refunds. Because this policy is "taxpayer friendly" and is not expected to be controversial, TAX is using the Exempt Process in amending this regulation section.
